Google SitemapAdmin

[kelvyn]

Thanks Kelvyn! So do I replace my urllist.txt with sitemapindex.xml?

I'd suggest following that blog post, becuase what you need to do is see how to put the sitemapindex into robots.txt for a start, and also you'll need to make a login for Yahoo so you can add and track how your site is being spidered - pretty much the same as Google Webmasters does.

Actually, I already have the information for Google, Yahoo and MSN in my robot.txt.

Google Sitemap requires an index sitemap to use to identify the list and Yahoo explorer also requires a file if you're using site explorer. I was basically asking a simple question of which file to put in accounts I have been using with Yahoo for months.

Google is smart enough to read my sitemapindex.xml and go from there to grab the category, product and ezpages xml file. I am not sure how Yahoo Explorer works which is why I was asking.

The robot.txt instruction is different from how Yahoo Site Explorer and Google Sitemap works. Although, both methods are after the same information, it never hurts to give different ways for search engine to find information.

Then if your robots.txt looks something like this, and you have a site AND feed setup, authenticated and listed here, then all is good!

Ok, I guess this will be a newbie question, but I've read everything I can find on this mod, and I can't find my answer...

I have v1.3.12 of this mod, and a pretty fresh install of Zen 1.3.7

The install instructions for the Sitemap mod reference, in step #2, a file called googleanalytics.sql. This file does not exist in the mod package.

Am I missing something???

Greetings

I have had Google Sitemap up and functioning [on 2 sites] for several weeks, THANKS for a great product!!!

• Today I installed the Admin Patch and the XSS patch on [BOTH SERVERS]. bulklights.com AND liberty-flag.com.
• I changed the admin folder on [BOTH SERVERS] and made the appropriate config.php changes.

The bulklights.com Sitemap works GREAT!
The liberty-flag.com Sitemap opens the popup window and times out with a resulting -

Google Sitemap Generation (v 1.3.11 19.05.2007 2:52) started

Save path - "/home/content/l/i/b/libflag/html/"
Base URL - "http://www.liberty-flag.com/"

and nothing more. I renamed the old sitemapindex.xml and the other .xml files and tried running it again to no availe.

The only other difference between the two sites is that on liberty-flag.com I tried toying with EZ-Pages. I created a page then deleted it.

Any other ideas or clues needed?

Thanks for your help

Well, following to the older forum topic
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...light=sitemaps

I have a question regarding this mod.
I have a 3 languages store, so when the sitemap is genarated, links like these accour, displaying the lang ID as well:

.....main_page=product_info&amp;language=GR&amp;products_id=1104
or
....main_page=product_info&amp;language=DE&amp;products_id=2364

Any suggestions?

Looks like everything is working fine, using Google Sitemap Generation (v 1.3.7 )
No errors,

I have a question regarding the actual sitemap listing at Google:
since my path is set to the following:
Save path - "/home/"directory"/public_html/"
Base URL - "http://domain.com/" I have had to setup my google webmaster to also reflect this instead of http://WWW.domain.com

all sitemaps paths come up WITHOUT the https://www.domain.com but instead display http://domain.com
will this cause a problem with site ranking or crawlers? how do i change this so that the site BASE URL shows up with http://www.domain.com.

Kelvyn,
I am currently using google sitemap 1.3.7 and would like to update to 1.3.12(or the latest). since I already have 1.3.7 installed can I just overwrite the files. I also noticed that in the 1.3.12 file system there are update squl files (2,3 and4). If I was to update do I also install these patches the same way as the install.sql (cut and past)?

I got this error trying to install Google Sitemaps.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function zen_get_info_page() in /home/public_html/admin/googlesitemap.php on line 259

This happens when I click on the Google Sitemap link under
Tools.

Hi all,

I tried to install the 1.3.12 version of this mod to my 1.3.7 zen cart and after installing the install.sql patch in my admin, I got this error '8 statements processed. Cannot insert configuration_key "" because it already exists. 1 statements ignored'.

Any help appreciated !

Thanks !
Shirley :)
